The answer was a resounding yes. Still only thirteen, Jackson brought a maturity and emotional pull to these songs that belied his age, and the album helped set the stage for the extraordinary solo career that followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title track, Got to Be There, is a tender, lilting ballad that lets his pure, sweet voice take centre stage. Rockin' Robin is a bouncy, irresistible romp that became one of his best-loved early hits, while I Wanna Be Where You Are glides on a smooth, soulful groove. His reading of Ain't No Sunshine brings an unexpected wistfulness to Bill Withers's classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SHM-CD format is designed for improved clarity, and Japanese editions are prized for their care, a fitting upgrade for these warm, carefully crafted arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans tracing the story from child star to King of Pop, this is where the solo chapter begins, full of charm, promise and plenty of youthful sparkle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57453240287537,"sku":"4988031857656","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_292b1a5c-3e76-4f3c-969b-4210f5c7fd3c.jpg?v=1794228824","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/michael-jackson-got-to-be-there-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
